  • Abstract
    Cancellation of the wavelength dependent image shift in demultiplexers, resulting in significant bandwidth increase, is described. Additional passband flattening using a Fabry-Perot filter is proposed. Spectral efficiencies greater than 90% can be achieved with a very low crosstalk
